FY2024 USAspending in South Carolina’s 2nd district

USAspending.gov attributes $38.7 billion in FY2024 federal obligations to place of performance in South Carolina’s 2nd congressional district. That figure is obligations, not outlays. 56,989 awards carry the SC-02 performance code — a large record count next to the dollar total. SpendingVault indexes the rows on the South Carolina District 02 hub. South Carolina District 02 is a mapped House seat with a large FY2024 row count. Keep $38.7 billion and 56,989 awards together as place-of-performance obligations, not as a rank or an average.

Key figures

  • FY2024 place-of-performance obligations in South Carolina District 02 total $38.7 billion.
  • The extract counts 56,989 awards for SC-02.
  • District is performance location, not recipient HQ.
  • SC-02 is a mapped House district, not a 90/98 bucket.
  • Cite $38.7 billion as obligations, not outlays.

What $38.7 billion includes for SC-02

The $38.7 billion total is the FY2024 obligation sum for awards whose USAspending place of performance is South Carolina District 02. A commitment on an award record is not a Treasury disbursement. South Carolina’s state budget is a separate series and is not this $38.7 billion. South Carolina District 02’s $38.7 billion is the FY2024 obligation roll-up for that mapped seat. The 56,989-award count is a separate column, not a rank and not an average. This is not a 90 bucket.

First year and last year are both 2024. Do not treat the total as a multi-year stack. Federal FY2024 begins October 1. Later USAspending.gov corrections can revise $38.7 billion and the 56,989-award count. Do not add FY2025 to $38.7 billion. This packet’s first year and last year are both 2024. Keep 56,989 awards in that same window.

Mapped district, not a 90 bucket

SC-02 is a numbered House seat in the source file. Place of performance, not recipient headquarters, assigns the district. A Midlands or surrounding performance location can appear even when the recipient’s legal address sits in Columbia, another South Carolina district, or another state. Place of performance fills the 56,989-row extract. A Columbia headquarters can still miss SC-02 if the work is coded to another district.

Unspecified South Carolina performance uses USAspending district 90; non-voting codes use 98. Those residual bins are separate pages. This hub is only the mapped 2nd district. SC-02 is a numbered House seat. Unspecified South Carolina performance belongs on district 90 or 98, not inside this $38.7 billion total.

56,989 awards in the FY2024 table

56,989 is the FY2024 record count for SC-02 place of performance. That is a high row volume beside the $38.7 billion obligation total. The packet still does not publish a rank, a unique-recipient census, or a typical award size. Modifications and assistance actions can each add a line.

Keep the dollar total and the count as independent facts. A large row count does not, by itself, explain the $38.7 billion, and the reverse is also true. The South Carolina District 02 hub is the line-level view.

56,989 rows can include many modifications. That volume still is not unique recipients. The South Carolina District 02 hub is the table. $38.7 billion remains the FY2024 obligation roll-up, a separate column from the row count.

Obligation language on this page

SpendingVault cites $38.7 billion as obligations. Outlays can lag or split across fiscal years. Calling SC-02 “cash spent” would relabel the series even though 56,989 award rows sit on the same hub.

If another South Carolina headline disagrees with $38.7 billion, check whether it uses outlays, recipient location, or a different year. Stay with place of performance and FY2024 obligations when quoting District 02.

Cite SC-02 as FY2024 USAspending.gov place-of-performance obligations of $38.7 billion on 56,989 awards. Do not divide the two figures. Do not drop the total onto an outlay chart.

South Carolina statewide context

The South Carolina state page aggregates mapped districts and any unspecified buckets. SC-02 is one mapped slice, not the statewide total.

The all-districts directory uses the same place-of-performance rule. Compare SC-02 only on FY2024 obligations. This packet does not rank the 2nd district among South Carolina’s seats.

Statewide South Carolina and other South Carolina districts are other pages. This packet does not quote those other sums. Stay on SC-02 for the 2nd district file.

Reading a high row count beside $38.7 billion

The 56,989-award count for SC-02 is a FY2024 record volume, not a quality score and not a unique-vendor census. SpendingVault indexes the rows next to $38.7 billion in obligations. Neither column explains the other.

If a comparison already uses headquarters location or Treasury outlays, rebuild it on place of performance and federal FY2024 before placing $38.7 billion in the grid. The South Carolina state hub and the all-districts index stay on obligations. South Carolina’s statewide hub is a different roll-up from District 02. SC-02’s $38.7 billion and 56,989 awards stay on this mapped place-of-performance page. Do not stretch the 2nd district file into a statewide proxy, and do not recode the extract as Treasury outlays.

Questions

How much federal spending is in South Carolina’s 2nd district?
USAspending.gov records $38.7 billion in FY2024 obligations with place of performance in South Carolina District 02. That is not an outlay total and not South Carolina’s state budget. The matching award count is 56,989 for FY2024. The packet year range is FY2024 only.
Is SC-02 the contractor’s headquarters district?
Not necessarily. USAspending tags the district by place of performance. Recipients based outside the 2nd district can still appear if the performance location is coded SC-02. A SC-02 legal address does not pull every dollar onto this hub. Keep South Carolina District 02 on FY2024 obligations and place of performance; do not divide dollars by the 56,989-award count.
Are South Carolina District 02’s $38.7 billion outlays?
No. $38.7 billion is an obligation aggregate from FY2024 award files. Outlays are a different series. SpendingVault does not convert SC-02 obligations into Treasury payments. Cite the figure with the obligation label and the FY2024 window. Keep South Carolina District 02 on FY2024 obligations and place of performance; do not divide dollars by the 56,989-award count.
How many awards are coded to South Carolina District 02?
56,989 awards appear for SC-02 place of performance in FY2024. That is a record count, including modifications, not a unique-recipient roster. The packet does not turn that count into an average award size from $38.7 billion. Keep South Carolina District 02 on FY2024 obligations and place of performance; do not divide dollars by the 56,989-award count.

Congressional district is USAspending place-of-performance, not the recipient HQ. District 90/98 are USAspending unspecified/non-voting buckets.
